BUILDING AN ASSET MANAGEMENT TEAM

We now have a Publications section.  Our first highlighted publication is Building an Asset Management Team by Ruth Wallsgrove and Louis Cripps.  It’s available for Kindle for just a few dollars, and you can read it on eReaders, phones and tablets.

Building an Asset Management Team is a practical and lively guide for anyone who needs to do infrastructure asset management. It tackles who you need and why you need them.

Asset Management is increasingly important, legally mandated in many countries. ISO 55000 defines AM as the ‘coordinated’ activities of an organization to realize value from its assets. But longer term co-ordinated asset plans and strategies take real effort and skills. You can’t just think things better.

To succeed, you require good business understanding, broad technical knowledge of the assets, analytical skills, and great facilitation & communication…. Instead of searching for a platypus, it’s easier to build a complementary team.

Invaluable if you are developing a business case for setting up an AM team, considering where to locate the team in your structure, or how to attract and keep the right staff.
